Here is the picture I looked at while I drew it (this picture is from www.megatokyo.com .. and is a photoshop drawing of one of the characters.. i didn't draw it, but i looked at it while i made the sketch):

NOTE: it is not meant to look identical.. as i added/subtracted some details from the bazooka and stuff. just wanna know what you think.. sadly i dont have a scanner so i had to snap a pic with my webcam, hence the poor quality. :(

If you want something to do I've been looking for someone to draw my portrait cartoon-style (nothing fancy, flatshaded colors in PS, some basic shading, etc. Looking like Ctrl-Alt-Del or PennyArcade, something like that :D)... if you want to take it up PM me ;) (No, it won't be easy)

All I see is image hosted by angelfire. I can get the second one if I copy and paste the link, but the first, even if I strip the url out of the image and paste in a new window, gives me the stupid angelfire placeholder graphic.

Looks pretty nice! That's how a good friend of mine got started doing artwork. His first piece he actually traced just to understand how the lines went together. Then he learned by looking off of other things. He practiced for a long time and went on to finally find a niche in the tattooing world. You can check out some of his stuff here (http://www.atomictattoos.com/staff/artists/david/gallery.html) although I've seen him do better. Wish I could find a web collection of his traditional media artwork, as it's quite impressive too. So keep after it, you will get better and better.
